A Natural Approach for Paralysis and Mobility Issues
Help, my Pet is Paralyzed or Immobile, what do I do????
Very frequently, I hear from people whose animals have become paralyzed or immobile. Often it’s voicemails, where the owners are distraught, pleading for help. Conversations with people, in which I ‘feel’ their despair. This is a devastating event to endure. You feel alone, nobody understands ‘how’ you feel. The answers we get from the vets, often give us zero Hope. We can spend all kinds of money on tests to find out ‘what’s’ wrong, but then what? Do we spend the thousands of dollars on surgery that has no guarantee? And in the end? How do we know what is the right decision for our animals? Are we doing the right thing? WHAT is the right thing? How do we know? And who can we talk to that’s been through it too, and can give us that much-needed Hope, for which we so badly seek?
This is why I decided it was necessary to write this article. Now, bear with me, as it may be a long one, but I want to make sure that when you are done reading this, you will have Hope. And, that you will be able to make the decision for your fur baby, that you know in your heart, is the right one. š I also want you to have the best chance of helping with your pets recovery, therefore I will go over some very important information which will be crucial to that.
My Personal Journey with Canine ParalysisĀ
My first paralysis experience was with my own dog Bella, in 2012. Her paralysis was caused by IVDD, orĀ InterVertebral Disc Disease.
“Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is a condition where the cushioning discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column either bulge or burst (herniate) and extend into the spinal cord space. These discsĀ can then press on the nerves running through the spinal cord causing pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis” (PetMd.com)
With Bella, we didn’t do the MRI’s to find out exactly ‘what’ had caused the problem. We didn’t know if it was an embolism, or a disc rupture or ??? We had no way of knowing. All we knew, is that she was paralyzed in her back end, no answers. We couldn’t afford the surgery, nor were we willing to risk that amount of money on something that we didn’t know would even help her. And that’s when the vet told us of ‘conservative’ treatment, which included leaving her in the kennel for 6-8 weeks, sending us home with steroids as well as pain and anti-inflammatory meds. We were also referred to a natural homeopathic vet.
That vet gave us more answers. She told us that we should NOT be leaving Bella in her crate, as that would only cause the rest of the body to atrophy. ‘Keep the strong parts strong, the damage is done’.
She showed us some at home therapy we could be doing on Bella and gave her acupuncture and laser therapy. We had a total of 3 visits.
On the 5th day after Bella’s paralysis, I received my NzymesĀ® order. We got her ‘back’ after 9 days on Nzymes. That’s when she took her first steps again.
Within the first week of being on NzymesĀ®, I stopped all her meds. I wanted to take away the ‘band-aids’ so that I could see how she was truly doing. I wanted the steroids gone because they are the one thing that is a big ‘hindrance’ to the NzymesĀ®. Steroids cause cellular death. They tell the body to shut down. NzymesĀ® enable it to come to Life; so when you have that constant good/bad battle going on, it can prevent the NzymesĀ® from working to their full potential.
Bella got better, and by 6 weeks when we could have let her out of her āstrict kennel restā, she was not only walking; but running and doing stairs! But, going forward there was still always ‘something’ not right, and we knew that by her actions, that something was going to happen. Weād had times that sheād have her back legs cross over. Losing the ability to stand or walk, short-lived each time though. No longer than a day.
It happened again fully on November 8 of 2014, in another complete paralysis. I got her ābackā after that one too, after about 10 days. But that is when I really started putting more ‘pieces’ together in understanding what IVDD truly was, and how this degenerative disease affected the body. Little did I know, that I had been ‘feeding’ her disease, with starches. Poor quality food. I didn’t understand then, that we should NEVER feed our animals starches!! In the body, starches turn to sugar, and sugar turns to yeast. Yeast is what feeds these degenerative diseases, it adds to swelling and inflammation, and is the biggest ‘culprit’ in most health issues facing humans and animals today. Preservatives and toxins also contribute, which is where many neurological paralyzes may stem from.
Important Lessons I’d Learned
There are 5 big ‘No No’s’ in our pets foods. Corn, rice, potato, wheat, and tapioca. They are the biggest starches out there; and if we feed that to our animals, we are only creating a perfect path for failing health. And that’s where I went wrong with Bella. At first. I didn’t know how crucial the food was too. I thought ‘I’m giving her Nzymes, that makes everything better’. Nope. Not the case. I was complacent to the fact that I was causing her to still have lots of yeast: which disallowed the Nzymes to work to their true full potential. I had created a good and bad ‘battle’ between the poor food and snacks, and the Nzymes. Unfortunately, Bella experiencing the second paralysis was what gave me the ‘wake up’ I clearly needed.
It was then that I changed her to a raw diet, no ‘garbage’ snacks and treats. (I am not suggesting that everyone switch to a raw diet, but for sure a ‘meat’ based starch-free one). (SEE NZYMES RECOMMENDED FOODS) I also added a few other supplements to her Nzymes regimen. I had learned about these from another dog I had just gotten by the name of Bohdi. Bohdi came to me as a ‘Forever Foster’ with only daysĀ to weeks tops left to live. It was because of his conditions, that I learned more ways to help paralysis dogs!!!
It was now, that I added CoEnzymeQ10 and Colloidal Silver to Bella’s regimen. I use colloidal silver as it helps repair the myelin sheath over every cell. Since many paralyzes are due to a degenerative disease, I see this as a great ānecessityā also. I also learned of K9 Chiropractic, which I took Bella to, and it gave me the assurance of knowing that her spine was in ‘place’. I didn’t know of this after her first paralysis, I wish I had.
I also started using a cannabis oil on Bella and all my other animals, which was good, but in the spring of 2017, I changed to a Camelina Oil by a company called Excel. It is far superior to the cannabis oil, and much more economical.
What is Camelina Oil? – LEARN HERE
A NEW Challenge, a New Approach
My second IVDD dog, Beanut, came to me with a year-old paralysis issue in December of 2015. He was the first dog with whom I started, from Day 1, on this new combination of products, and also took him to the K9 chiropractor.
When he first arrived, he was able to stand on his back legs for a few seconds, even take a few steps, but then fall down. He dragged 95% of the time, and stayed in one spot a lot, and would just spin himself around to see the action. His back legs were completely raw and torn open from dragging everywhere.
After 2 weeks, he was torpedo’ing around! He was up more on his feet than he was off of them, he was becoming stronger and stronger. By the time 2 months came around, he was practically 100%.
See Beanut’s Improvements – as seen on CTV News in Canada
We are now almost 5 years in, and I have never seen even the slightest of anything that would indicate that he may experience a second paralysis. Many IVDD dogs do because it is a degenerative disease, it keeps on deteriorating more and more. But, I truly believe, that by doing all these things, and understanding what role each and every one has against this disease, or any other degenerative disease, it seems as if we have ‘stopped’ it??!! At the very least, it seems we have slowed the progression.
Beanut’sĀ Regimen is Working for Others
After Beanut, many more dogs came along, with different ’causes’ for paralysis. IVDD, Degenerative Myelopathy, Degenerative Disc disease, arthritis, osteoarthritis, infections, tumors, and especially Lyme disease, or tick-borne diseases, vaccine induced paralysis, and even brain injuries. There are so many things that can ‘create’ a paralysis or mobility, but I’ve learned that by simply giving the body the ‘tools’ it requires along with proper nutrition, can change it all. Providing the animal with constant stimulation to their affected limbs-at home therapy, even laser treatment-at home! (See link below)
I am now at over 700+ paralyzed/immobile dogs that I’ve been fortunate to have been a part of their recoveries. I’ve had dogs who haven’t gotten up in 5 months, one that was paralyzed for 9 years, Ā and dogs that were ice cold in the back end by the time they got to me. Even all 4 legs paralyzed. But no matter ‘what’ the reason is behind their condition, my approach is always the same. Food change, Nzymes, Q10, Colloidal Silver and Excel oil and chiropractic if available. Those things, together, create a dynamite ‘team’ and give the animal the very best chance at recovery, in a 100% natural way.
I always like to ask many questions when first learning of a new paralysis case. But the MOST important one is which food/snacks and treats the animal is receiving. It is very important to suffocate out the yeast in the body, in order to get the best results. Provide a good, balanced meat-based diet, along with the live nutrition Nzymes supplement, and a pure quality of the others and your dog will have all the ‘tools’ they need to help them along in their Journey. I don’t want to see anyone have to experience a second paralysis also. I do sometimes feel guilt over Bella’s second paralysis, but I just didn’t KNOW any better back then, but I sure have learned since!
Paralysis Similarities and Differences
No one paralysis like the other. One animals injury may not be as severe as another, or another’s degenerative disease or autoimmune disease may not be as far advanced as the next. Therefore, when I am asked ‘how long until I see results?’ I honestly have to answer ‘I don’t know’. But it’s because every single ‘body’ is different. I’ve had true Cinderella stories where the NEXT day the dog got up, or 3 or 5 days later. For some, it was on the 8th day. Others it took weeks, months, even an entire year. But, with those, I didn’t know about the Q10, colloidal silver, Excel Oil and food importance. Maybe many results would have been different if we had done those things? I’ll never know, but I do know now that now I like to essentially do a ‘reset’ of the animal, and build back up from the ‘root’. And whilst I cannot tell you how long it’s going to take for your dog to get back on all fours, I can tell you that it’s a day by day Journey; with each little accomplishment being the biggest. Seeing your dogs tail wag for the first time? Is a very joyful time. Every little ‘step’ becomes huge milestones. It makes you look at life with a whole new perspective. To see your fur baby giving 100% to recover, with such determination and drive, touches one’s heart in a way I never knew possible. We begin to have a very different ‘love’ for that pet, and when others see them walking a bit weird, and say ‘Awwww, what’s wrong with them?’ You can say as I always do, ‘There is nothing wrong with her!! She is N’abled, not Disabled!!’ I do not ever give Bella or Beanut any pity. They don’t want it. To see them tearing around, being all crazy, running like there is nothing wrong, nor that they were ever paralyzed, never mind twice, it’s pretty tough to pity that.Ā š
Additional Help
One of the things I see most in videos that are sent to me,Ā is the animal slipping and sliding on the floors.Ā This is only going to make it more difficult for that animal to gain traction, and be able to keep their feet underneath them.Ā I always recommend two things.Ā The first being, when indoors, get some carpet runners.Ā You will find that your animal will gravitate towards them, and this will allow them to build that confidence of not losing their legs when trying to get up.Ā The saddest thing is to see our fur babies splayed out on all fours, being afraid to move. Ā It would be like us walking on ice. You stiffen up, and have that fear of falling.Ā The same goes for our pets.
And, get them outside as much as possible, allowing them to lay in the dirt or grass.Ā This allows them to be “grounded”.Ā All living bodies have energy.Ā When we are unable to ‘release’ that energy, swelling and inflammation can become worse.Ā Do you remember how great you felt as a kid barefoot, or dangling your feet in the lake?Ā Over the years with wearing shoes,Ā we’ve lost that ‘connection’ to the earth, allowing our bodies to be balanced.Ā The same applies to our animals.Ā Most animals will gravitate towards grass or dirt, as they ‘know’ its good for them. Ā To see the benefits of grounding, please read this article by Dr Karen Becker and Clint Ober.

Perhaps My Journey can Help Your’s
So this is why I wanted to write this. I wanted everyone who has experienced a paralysis or mobility issue with their animal, to know, this doesn’t have to be a devastating time or ordeal. There IS joy in that sorrow. I don’t see any paralysis as a gut-wrenching ordeal anymore. I always have Hope, especially after everything I’ve seen for myself, lived, and experienced, with my own dogs and others. Yes, it may take some time, but the light IS there at the end of the tunnel. š
I believe everything happens for a reason, and I have known for a long time, that Bella’s paralysis was meant to be. The utter sorrow I felt during that time, how ‘alone’ I was, truly touched me. I couldn’t imagine anyone else having to feel that way too. I vowed then; if I could ever help even just ONE person to not feel that way, then this would all have been worth it. Little did I know then, that Bella’s paralysis would change my entire life’s path, to now being able to spend every one of my days, focused and dedicated to helping others and their fur babies, to have, to experience, and live that Hope also.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions or would like to be in contact with me in regards to an immobility or paralysis, please don’t hesitate. It is never too late.

Brenda’s Paralysis SupportĀ Program – A Word from Mike
Hello, and thank you for visiting Brenda’s Corner today. My name is Mike, and I am director of operations at Nzymes.com. This website is the combined brain-child of Brenda and myself. It is a sub-domain of Nzymes.com, but that is not important.
Someone once said, “You’re the same person today, that you’ll be 5 years from now, except for the Books you read, and the People you meet”. Five years ago, we got to know Brenda, and the changes that have come our way have been nothing but positive. Along the way, we have been instrumental in her learning process, and now she is returning the favor.
The true purpose of this site is to have a place for her to share her experiences and to be a friendly place for people to hang out…Live, Laugh and Love. We hope you will be enlightened, as well as encouraged with any struggle you may be facing.
Paralysis in our pets can seem utterly hopeless, but there IS hope, and there ARE natural steps you can take that make a real difference. We want this site to be a vehicle of hope via natural means.
Brenda often recommends products that are not our own – that is irrelevant. What is important is supplying people with every tool available to help their dog become as healthy as possible. We are in this together, and together we are stronger.

What dosages of the CoQ10, colloidal silver and Carolina oil should be given to an 85# Doberman with arthritis?
Brenda
Feb 21, 2018
Hi Marsha! š
I would actually hold off on the colloidal silver and just start with the others. The reason being, is that Iām not sure you āneedā it? Colloidal Silver is great especially for degenerate diseases, but arthritis is mostly yeast driven, and whilst I know it would help, especially for the immune system, I donāt know that it a would be a cost that you HAVE to do? Collodial Silver is crazy expensive, unless you make it yourself; then it becomes dirt cheap. So…if youād want to use it and interested in making it yourself, let me know and I can help you with that. š But, if I were to give CS for a dog at 85 pounds, Iād do half an ounce to a full ounce daily.
As for the Excel K9 Camelina Oil, Iād do 20mls a day. You might even be able to do a bit more, and youāll know if itās ātoo muchā as there will be loose runny poops. If that happens, just cut back to the 20mls.
CoEnzymeQ10. 200 mgs a day. And once he/she been on that for a couple of weeks, try something? On Wednesdayās and Sundays, double that to 400 mgs. š See if you notice a change? I do that with all my dogs on Q10. I found when I doubled their dose it made a HUGE change, it was like a circus act here! š But itās too costly to double 3 animals every day, so I played around with it, and found that doubling them those two days a week, kept that ālevelā of Go Go Go for them? I also double double dose their Nzymes granules on the same days. I keep my guys all double dosed all the time with the Nzymes as is, since they have all been ābrokenā in some form, the more we give, the better off theyāll be. So I find doing the double double dose days is totally worth it, and it doesnāt cost me an arm and a leg. š
Marsha Garcia
Feb 21, 2018
Thank you so much for your quick response. After speaking with Mike at Nzymes Monday I started doubling her nzymes but since today is Wednesday I will give a 3rd dose. I’m going to purchase COQ10 today and start it as well. Do you recommend one brand over another? Also will order camelina oil from excel.
Thanks again for your help the successes you’ve had are amazing! I hope and pray I’m as successful with Kali as it breaks my heart to see her limping, in pain and at times struggle to stand up.
Brenda
Feb 21, 2018
Oh you got Mike! How perfect. š As for Q10, I just always recommend to buy from a health food store, not no big box stores as then you donāt get pure products. So any health food store, not GNC will do. Or, even anything from Iherb.com is good too.
Did you get the link to order the Excel? If not, here it is.

Thanks again!
Brenda
Feb 27, 2018
Hi Marcia! š
I was videoing every day, but I know that was a bit crazy. However, in hindsight, Iām glad I have every day to look back on? But I would recommend at least every couple of days?
I canāt wait to see your videos!!! Thank you so much for wanting to do that with Kali š

Hello Butch, this is Mike. Brenda is traveling at this time and will be out for a week or so. There is no problem using the Nzymes while on the other meds. They are natural, whole-food items, and do not conflict with medications. Brenda has a really good article on help for paralysis.

How do I treat a ābedsoreā developing on the leg of our dog from immobility?
Brenda
Aug 2, 2018
Hi Pamela!
Do you have a health food store close by? As I would recommend getting some colloidal silver and spraying it on that area to help. If you donāt have a health food store, Amazon has it also. I prefer the Sovereign Silver brand if I have to purchase. I make my own but when I used to buy, and for people that donāt want to make it themselves, then the Sovereign brand is the best. š
And you can spray it on frequently also. As much as needed. Also spraying onto the dogs bed or blanket before they lay down on it will help also.
I purchase little purse sized spray bottles from the dollar store to put the silver into to be able to spray it.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. š

Thank you for your timely reply!!! I do have colloidal silver and will use it. We have a 14year old, 45 lb chow mix. She has arthritis in her spine and hip displaytia (sp?). She canāt get up at this point. Vet has her on meds, but my husband is leaning heavily towards put her down. I want to give her a chance to recover. Suggestions?
Brenda
Aug 2, 2018
Hello Pamela, š
I wouldnāt be ready to give up yet. š Iāve worked with now almost 350 paralysis/immobile dogs, and Iād say at least 95% were deemed āhopelessā. But thatās by western medicine ways. If we can give the body the proper ātoolsā including starch free food and the right supplements, their bodies have every chance to repair and recover. š
Have you seen these two articles? One is specifically for mobility issues, and then the other one is about hip Dysplacia.

The Nzymes you can get directly from their website http://www.nzymes.com And that you can give either once or twice a day, mixed in with the food.
CoEnzymeQ10-a true mom and pop health food store. Once a day you need to give it directly into food. This article explains about it, and why only to buy from a health food store. Or, if unable to go to a health food store, the brand Natural Factors is my choice for online purchasing.
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/dog-mobility-troubles/coq10-use-and-pet-mobility/
And then colloidal silver you give once a day, also directly into food.
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/immune-support/colloidal-silver-and-why-i-use-it/
Colloidal silver you can buy at a health food store, but itās cost is ridiculous. Here again is the link for the $100 off a Silver Edge generator. These are hands down the best you can get. š Iāve had mine for almost 4 years now, going almost 24/7 and never had a problem.

All these ātoolsā along with a good food, will give your dog the best chance at repair and recovery. š

This is what I can figure from your posts. For my 45 lb dog:
CS 1/4 oz daily
Excel K9 Camelina Oil 10 mg daily
CoQ10 100mg daily
Nzymes granules double recommended amoun
Anything else?
Brenda
Aug 3, 2018
I would do at least an ounce a day of colloidal silver, for at least the first 3 months, then it could go down to half. (I have also a colloidal silver info page, which tells of how you can make it yourself so it doesnāt cost you an arm and a leg to keep buying it-please let me know if youād like to see that-and as an Nzymes customer you get $100 off the cost of a generator)
15 mls Excel K9 oil
Q10 100mg
Double dose of Nzymes

My sweet Great Dane is showing signs per the vet of Wobblers which I have read is essentially a spinal injury/spinal degeneration. I am desperate to help her mobility. She is about 130LB. Getting up is becoming so hard for her. We have hardwoods all throughout so slipping is also an issue. Once she slips she sprawls out and can not get up without our help. She looks like she is truly walking on ice and tip toeing. Outdoors in grass and on concrete she does much better. Please help me based on her weight what is best dosing for your recommended regimen? Also, I would love to hear of the recipe to make the silver. I used to use colloidial silver with my son many years ago during his post op phases. I have also done wound care with many products containing the silver during my home health days. I never realized could be used on pets. Your info has been wonderful and I can’t wait to hear from you.
Brenda

Hi Nikki!
Thank you so very much for reaching out. š
To begin with, how old is your girl? And then second, what is she getting for food/snacks? The reason I ask is because we want to make sure there are no starches in her diet. That would be corn, rice, potato, wheat and tapioca. The starches become sugar, the sugar becomes yeast and then we are rapidly, unknowingly āfeedingā that degenerative disease. š So, thatās always the first step. Eliminate the starches. Do you have Netflix? If yes, then I highly, highly recommend to watch Pet Fooled. It is the biggest eye opener about the pet food industry, and how we are duped SO bad into feeding our pets the wrong foods, which then creates health issues, and the cycle of ābandaidsā begins with trying to āfixā the root cause. The vets come out way ahead because thatās the first place we run to when our pets arenāt well. So if you can, please watch that as it will show you the extent of how horrific what goes into our pets foods is, and why so many diseases and conditions are arising, when years ago, there wasnāt such.
Also, if the vet wants to vaccinate your girl, or try to get you to use flea/heartworm āpreventionā which truly is a āslow dose poisoningā because itās pesticides, please refuse. The last thing we want is to inject or give our pets something that we have zero control over, and then have to face the ramifications of the outcomes of such. Itās terrible. š¢ And, if an animal is unwell, they arenāt supposed to vaccinate them anyways.
Next, can you acquire yourself some carpet runners for inside your house? Walmart has good ones for around $10 each. If you could line a āpathwayā in your house of places she can go, that will be a huge help. Youāll see that she will start moving herself to stay on those, because she gets traction, just as she does outdoors on the grass and cement? It will build her confidence, and she wonāt have fear to try and get up. And that fear, can sometimes be the biggest hindrance for animals with mobility issues. So if you could find a way to provide her that āconfidenceā in the house also, I think youāll see her be able to ātryā that much more. š
As for amounts of everything. For the Nzymes I would do, and remain at 2 teaspoons of the granules. Q10, I would do 200mg a day. The Excel Oil, 30 mls a day. All this, can be mixed right into her food.
For the collodial silver, here is a link that tells all about its benefits and uses. I LOVE CS, and use it in 100% of any mobility issues,because of what it can do to the myelin sheath, which is the culprit behind degenerative issues!
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/immune-support/colloidal-silver-and-why-i-use-it/
And then, as it states in the article, I will only use one company’s generator to make my own CS. It is called The Silver Edge. This silver, is the one I use all the time, and I am beyond confident in its capabilities. If you buy CS at a healthfood store, in no time you will have spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on something you can make easily at home, for literally pennies! You need only distilled water and glass jars to make it. Itās super easy! And after making your first batch of silver from a gallon jug of distilled water, that generator will have paid for itself three times! And then you have years and years of easy access to having it. (I run 3 generators, the longest being 3 years, and itās still going strong! š)
Also, as an Nzymes customer, The Silver Edge will guarantee you $100 off the purchase. If you use this link, itāll ensure you get that.
https://fx229.isrefer.com/go/RPP/NZYMES/
As for the amount of collidial silver, I would start off with an ounce a day, and then after about a week, call me, and we can discuss more. The CS is SUCH a crucial step in all of this, that I would much rather speak with you in regards to what we all need to do for her going forward. š You can reach me at 1-877-816-6500 ext 3238.
I can be here with you every step of the way if youād like Nikki. ā¤ļø Sometimes, we need to ātweakā things a bit to cater to that animals specific needs, and Iāll help you with all of it, and then together we can do everything possible for your girl, and get her back on her feet. š
And, you can call me anytime, you donāt have to wait for the collidial silver chat if you donāt want to?! š Iām always here, more than willing to help.
I understand all too well how it feels to be in such a situation, and I just donāt want you to feel āaloneā in this ok? ā¤ļø

Hello Rachelle!
You absolutely got it! š Yes, the blatant poison in those so called āmedsā can wreak havoc on the body. Great for you for figuring out what the ācauseā is. š I see it so often sadly.
But if you have the Nzymes already? Just way up them, triple and quadruple them and you can do a really good job of detoxing that out of her body. And then if you use the Nzymes Blackleaf youāve got natural heartworm prevention and peace of mind that it isnāt toxic to her. ā¤ļø
How are her allergies currently? And how about her mobility? Because those are both things we can work with too! Very easily. š
If you want, send me an email at brenda@nzymes.com and if you want, we can even have a phone chat?
Thank you so much for reaching out Rachelle!! š

Hello,
I just ordered the nzymes and I am surprised at the paralyzed dog videos showing recovery. I have a Basenji that’s just starting to lose control of his back legs at 11 yrs old. I know he has some neck or back pain that at times he cries. He has had about 4 seizures too. I’m wondering how Sprouted soy can improve this in dogs. Health experts warn against eating soy.
Brenda

Hi Dan!
When it comes to soy, itās very different at the āsproutā stage than it is as a full blown plant with leaves and beans. At the sprout form, it is protein, and doesnāt have the ābadā associated with it. This article here explains it really well. š
https://www.nzymes.com/nzymes-soy-nutrition-profile/
I would definitely recommend to keep your pup on a double dose of the Nzymes. With his age, he requires more āresourcesā so the more āLifeā he gets, the better off he will be. I double dose any dog over the age of 8, as thatās when they start entering their senior years. I also double double dose the Nzymes and Q10 on Wednesdayās and Sundays. Twice a week. I find that keeps them at their very best, without having to spend a fortune in having to do it every day.
Some dogs too, as they get over the age of 12, a triple daily dose of the Nzymes may be even better. You donāt ever have to be afraid of giving too much, as itās only āfoodā and you can over dose on food. š And just so you know, if during the first few days of getting Nzymes your guy has a bit of loose runny poops, thatās completely normal. Itās just part of the detox of yeast, toxins and free radicals coming out.
You mentioned the seizures also. Have you ever been able to put your finger on it as to what caused them? I ask because I have found the biggest culprit in seizures, is poor food (especially with colors in it) but Dental bones/sticks products. The chemicals in them are terrible and can wreak havoc on their bodies.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything ok? Iāll be more than willing to help. Anytime. š You can also email me at brenda@nzymes.com if you want.
Thank you for reaching out Dan, and best of luck with your fur baby. š

I have a pug who has almost no mobility in her back legs and Iāve noticed in the last week she just stands there and her front legs seem quite shaky and Iām in fear that those are not working now either. She usually just stands there falling all over. Itās heartbreaking! The cost of the mri is $3000 which I canāt afford. Sheās only 8 years old and I canāt imagine losing her. Please can u help her ?
Brenda
Jan 29, 2019
Hi Mel!
Can you please tell me more about your girl please? When did this begin? Were there any vaccinations before this began? Or any flea/heart worm meds? Anything you can tell me may be of great use to try and put her pieces back together. š
Also, is there any chance Lyme disease may be at play? I ask due to it moving up to the front of the body. Often that is a sign of Lyme. Which is fine if it is, we can take care of that.
May I also ask what she gets for her food/snacks/treats etc? Her diet information would be great to know please. š
Thank you for reaching out Mel, I promise I will do everything I can to help you and her. ā¤ļø

Hi Brenda,
My German Shepherd has a bulging disc which is compressing his nerves (bladder and bowel) affecting him being unable to urinate at times. His back legs are not very strong and his tail is starting to drop as well. He possibly has DM, not confirmed. I have read your page and I am very impressed with the products and diet you recommend. I would love to purchase the nzymes but live in Australia and canāt get it here. I tried to purchase on the nzymes webpage but Australia didnāt come up as an option. Is there any other product I can use which would help my boy, he is 6 years old. I would love some advice as he his my baby.
Thank you

Hi Sharon!
Thank you for reaching out. š
We used to have a rep in Queensland who carried the Nzymes, but then due to Govt laws in Australia, it became more and more difficult to get the products sent out. However, we have found that individual orders, were no problem.
Iād recommend to contact Mike at Nzymes. Heās at 1-877-816-6500 ext 3232. He can help with getting some shipped out to you.
If you are on Facebook, look up āHappy Healthy Aussie Dogsā. This page is run by Beth Breed, the lady who used to bring in the Nzymes. Sheās now been able to find a local Aussie product that by the sounds of it, sheās having great results with too. So itās a back up in case needed. But feel free to find her and let her know you were in touch with me and she can help too. One way or another we will help your guy. š

Brenda: Please contact me. Have a 8 year old Doberman that last Tuesday, took to the vet as he could not use back legs. Was told that he has Wobblers. Wednesday, he could not move front or back legs. The Nezmes treats came in on Saturday, so have been giving him 4 daily. Took him off his old dog food… and have been making him food, as he often does not want to eat. All he can move is his head. When I touch his feet he will move them, and when I massage him, his legs will twitch.

Thank you so much for all of this information. I just spoke with Stan at Nzymes about how to dose my tripod, and have really felt so hopeful in the first time in years. She’s been a tripod for six years and is slowing down significantly, due to arthritis (according to xrays). We will change her food first thing and am hopeful the Nzymes will help too.
Do you think I should take away any of her pain medications? She’s on Galliprant and Gabapentin and supplements, Fish Oil and Liquid Health K9.
Thank you so much!

Hi Melissa! š
I myself am not a fan of any western medicine pain meds, but because they usually have side effects which can begin to affect the vital organs, which then can lead to kidney failure/shutdown. Although we can reverse that, I always shy away from such to avoid it.
I prefer to use the starch free foods, and my choice is always a raw diet. In the US, my food of choice is by Northwest Naturals. When an animal is raw fed, their body absorbs 90% of that nutrition, so with an unwell animal, itās definitely a win win. š
Nzymes, keep on a double, if not even a triple dose. You canāt overdose on it because itās just āfoodā. A whole, living food source. Every piece of them are alive, so the more Life we can give to the body, the better it will be. ā¤ļø
CoEnzymeQ10 is a big help too. Since it also allows the body to repair itself at a cellular level, speeds up blood flow, it can be a big asset to the ādamagedā areas.
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/dog-mobility-troubles/coq10-use-and-pet-mobility/
For pain and discomfort, I love the ExcelK9 oil. This is something that is big in the horse world, and when they came out with the K9 version, it was an immediate hit. I have found that this, with the Vitamin E oil as a part of it, does wonders for animals in pain.
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/dog-mobility-troubles/my-reasons-for-using-excel-oil/
So…to answer your question about stopping the meds, thatās something that you have to decide on. I would never want to tell you what to do, as itās a decision that you have to feel right with in your heart? I always stop them with any animals that come through to me to work with, and Iāve never had anything bad or detrimental happen as a result of it, so I myself feel confident in not continuing them, but it is something that only you can decide what to do for your girl. ā¤ļø
If you have any questions or need anything, please let me know. Iām more than happy to help! š
Thank you for reaching out Melissa.

Hi Brenda I was recommended by a friend. My dog lost feeling in her hind legs Sunday morning. The vet said she has no deep pain so may need surgery. I wanted to know more info about this product and what exactly she will need. If you could please let me know I’d be happy to hear from you š
Brenda
Jul 18, 2019
Hello Rita!
Iām so sorry to hear about your dog. But please know, that even if the vets say that it looks really ābadā and that they think there is no Hope, I disagree. š
Have you been able to take a look at this article? This is what I do for paralysis cases, regardless of the ācauseā, my approach is always the same. š
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/dog-paralysis-challenges/brendas-paralysis-support-program-for-dogs/
I also have something else I have found, which I used on my own dog, and she went from paralyzed to not paralyzed within moments. It was unbelievable! But yet it happened right before our eyes!
Can you call to Canada? Iām currently living at the lake for the summer, and canāt call long distance from here. But if you can call me, that would be fantastic. Iād love to speak with you. š Please let me know and I can send you my cell number and we can figure out a time to chat. You can email me at brenda@nzymes.com also and we can coordinate something?

I am so grateful to have found this. My dog had sudden back leg paralysis not even a week ago. She went to a vet for lameness on Wed & they said it was her left hip. By Thurs afternoon sheād lost all use of her back legs. On Sat I took her to another vet & he says she has Spondylitis. Some people believe itās connected or itās roots are IVDD. Itās been a challenge. We paid to overnight the NāZymes & we are on day 3. She is still on steroids & pain killers but I may start reducing those. Also working with a homeopath and Iāve called an equine chiropractor that also works on dogs. I was told to order some CBD oil but Iām going to try your suggestion plus the Q10. She is on a grain free/legume free/potato free canned food. I know my family thinks Iām crazy but I have a very supportive boyfriend in this. He actually paid for the NāZymes & the overnight postage. Iām trying to stay positive & believe she will walk again.

Hi Brenda Iām going to start my 9 year old 45kg boxer on this plan . He has spondylosis of the spine he is having difficulty walking and is slipping and falling a lot. I have purchased the granules , treats , q10 , and Cs, Could you please tell me how much of each I should be giving him each day ? Thank you.
Brenda
Aug 5, 2019
Hi Edwina,
For the Nzymes I would give him two teaspoons of the granules a day, and then a few treats a day too. With these, you canāt overdose on them since they are just living āfoodā. So donāt be afraid to double/triple + the amounts if needed. š
For the Q10, Iād give him 200-300mg a day, directly into his food. Do you have a health food store to purchase it from? As we donāt want big box store Q10 brands, thereās a reason they are so inexpensive, filled with fillers and who knows what else. At least at a mom and pop health food store you are guaranteed purity.
Now for colloidal silver, heās going to need quite a bit a day. This is going to get very expensive, as CS is the biggest rip off in the supplement industry. Please take a look at this article.
http://brendascorner.nzymes.com/immune-support/colloidal-silver-and-why-i-use-it/
As you will see, I use ONLY generators from The Silver Edge to make my CS. And, as an Nzymes customer you receive a $100 discount. This is the link to use for that.
https://fx229.isrefer.com/go/RPP/NZYMES/
As the article states, all you need is distilled water to make it, and after the first gallon of distilled water you turn into CS, it will have paid for itself 3Xās. Whereas buying it would get you 5 8oz bottles at $55 each. (Thatās what I used to pay for Sovereign Silver) So doing it yourself, is definitely the way to go. And then for dosage, can you send me an email to brenda@nzymes.com and I can send you the information on that please? š

Hello. I’m hoping you can help me and Li’l Sammie, my rescued Beagle/Rottweiler mix. She has DM according to vet. Her back legs are partially atrophied and she is starting to fall every time she goes to the bathroom. She’s doesn’t seem to be in pain at all, just can’t seem to figue out what’s going on with her back end. I’ve moved to a place with flat back yard, altho it’s sandy, in Pensacola, FL where I grew up, have bought yoga matts at Dollar Tree and put on floor, my sister gave me some very dense 3″ foam old dog beds from her labs to put up to the bed and loveseat/sofa, and I’ve put my bed & box spring on the floor (what can I say? She sleeps on it. I let her. Don’t judge?) so she can, with my help, get on the bed. Also have one in front of the sofa. She’s 11 years old. I’m 71 and childless. She weighs about 43 pounds. I’m on fixed income and a retired Social Worker. Can you tell me what to get for her and the amounts/doses to try first? Does she need the Colloidal Silver? I would make it myself to save money if you could give me the “recipe.” There’s a good health food store in Pensacola, I’ve heard. I am hoping for a miracle for her and me to have her as long as I can. Vet says no hope. Thank you. And thanks for this support site,too.

My 15 year old chow mix lost control of her right hind leg this morning. Our vet was able to see us and by the time we got there her rear legs were crossing and her paws were knuckling under. The vet diagnosed the problem as neurological in nature. With all kinds of manipulation she exhibited no pain. Because of her age we agreed to not try any extreme treatments so she received a cortisone shot and 10 days of prednisone. I came across this site somehow through my link on Nzymes. Faith has been on the granules for the past year and a half. At the regular dosage. She eats a high end food but Iām changing her over to an Nzymes recommend one tomorrow. So I should increase the enzymes and get the other supplements plus order the carmelina. Fingers crossed and thank you.
Brenda
Feb 4, 2020
Hello! Iām so sorry to hear about your Chow. My goodness, 15 years old! Thatās incredible! Youāve definitely been doing something very right for Faith!!! š
Yes, for sure double, if not even triple the Nzymes granules. The more Life you can get into her, the better. š And I myself would definitely recommend everything in that regimen, but, if you would rather go step by step, and not everything, then the next thing would be the Q10. And then, the ExcelK9 and then the colloidal silver last. Unless, you have any suspicion that this could be Lyme disease related, or tick borne? Then weād go to the silver next.
Was there anything that happened before this begun? Any sort of trauma or event? Anything that may be a bit of a āhmmmā before this happened? And currently, does she have sensation at all in that leg? Or can she wag her tail?
If youād like, send me an email to brenda@nzymes.com I will be more than happy to be alongside you every step of the way if you need. š E-mail is easier for me than on here. š

Bailey is a 12 1/2 year old female Golden Retriever. Took her to the vet because of incontinence. The vet told me she had many tumors and was very weak in her hindquarters. That was on May 12, 2020. She recommended joint supplements, gabapentin etc. I purchased Deer velvet antler for the joints. I very rarely feed kibble. I order raw food for her and my other dogs. On June 23 I found her on the basement steps unable to get up. She has been paralyzed ever since. I carry her out to do her business with a full body harness. She weighs about 85 lbs and is losing muscle mass in her hind legs. Her appetite is not great. Often I put supplements in raw goats kefir and feed it via syringe. Do you have any recommendations on how much to give her of Colloidal Silver, Coq10, enzymes and excel oil. I have purchased all of these after reading some of your articles. I also have the silveredge generator so I am able to make my own cs cheaply. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Brenda
Aug 4, 2020
Hi Petra!
Iām so happy to hear you got everything! This is fantastic. š
So for Bailey, to begin with, the double dose of the Nzymes granules. And, if you have the treats, give her a double dose with those too. I donāt know exactly āwhatā it is by the two being used together, but something in those treats really amplifies everything, and I have found that using the two for any mobility cases is key.
And then, for the Q10, Iād do 200mg a day. The reason being, The dosage on a bottle of Q10, is based on an average body weight of 150 pounds. So that tells me that each pill, is 50 pounds, 50 pounds, 50 pounds, so for Bailey being between 50 and 100 pounds, that would be 200 mg. You could also with no problem, have her be at 300mg a day. And, you can always bump it down to 200mg after about a month, and see if it affects her in a negative way? And if it does, then put her back up to 300mg. š
For the Excel Oil, Iād use 30mls. And then the colloidal silver, Iād do 2 ounces a day. At least. That could be something you could even bump up if needed, and see if her āfitā might be more. I have often had dogs begin to really flourish when I bumped up the silver, so it told me I wasnāt using enough? And, itās also something that doesnāt have to stay at that, it can be dropped back down once things begin to fall into place and have been so for about a month. Basically, everything can be ātweakedā as needed for Bailey. ā¤ļø And everything goes into her food. If she doesnāt want to eat, plain yogurt may be of help.
And, I donāt know if you want to do this also, but I always brew my silver for longer. I like the extra strength versions. So, for a regular batch Iād do it for 4 hours, and when I would have really sick dogs, ones that were on deaths door, or very very sick ones, Iād do for 6 hours. You will see the light on the generator begin to come on the longer it brews for, but then thatās just telling you itās getting saturated. Itās when the light is on right from the get go, thatās not good. Then thatās ādirtyā distilled water. But if it comes on while you are brewing, thatās totally ok.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help. š

Dear Brenda,
Thank you so much for responding to me. I ordered the antioxidant chewables right away. I have also just started her on the camelina oil. She has unfortunately developed pressure sores because of the weightloss and muscle atrophy. Is there anything I could do with her paralyzed hind legs to keep this from getting worse. I have ordered an orthopedic bed to hopefully keep her comfortable. Incidentally, I have started her on Essiac tea in case there is some cancer present because of all the tumors. She also has diarrhea. I carried her outside to spend some time in the fresh air and noticed a few specks of blood in her poop. Of course this scares me. I may be selfish in trying to keep her around as long as possible. Yet she’s still wagging her tail as if to thank me and I just don’t seem to be able to decide to have her put to sleep. No matter what I may need to do in the near future I want to thank you for all the help and good advice you are giving those of us with paralyzed dogs.
Sincerely,
Petra Miller

Hi Petra! š
I loved seeing that if sheās still happy and wagging her tail! If she wants to be engaged with you and others and isnāt a mopey girl, then absolutely keep on trying. Donāt give up. ā¤ļø If she still has drive and wants to be outside and be enjoying life, then let her have it. š I do know though, that sometimes we as their people tend to keep them around for us. I have done that, and kept a dog alive not realizing, that he was never going to have a quality life no matter what I did. He was a 17 year old foster, missing an eye and blind in the other and could barely hear and very aggressive to anyone but me who went near him. He had terrible auto immune issues. He was a mess. And one day, after months of me working with him, my husband asked me āBrenda, whatās your end game with Gizmo? Can you make him better?ā Yes, I can. I can make him better. āAnd then what?ā He asked. āIs he ever going to play with a toy? Is he ever going to ask to go outside? His world is entirely dark, all he does is sleep all day, what will his quality of life be, even though you make him ābetterā?ā Well that was a cold hard wake up to me. Because I knew he was right. Gizmo was not now, nor ever going to have a good quality of life. And I was keeping him alive just so I could prove to myself that I COULD get him better. I was being selfish, but I had not ever looked at it the way he presented it to me? So the very next day, we crossed Gizmo over, and I didnāt cry when the time came (I never cry during ātheā time because I donāt want them to feel my sadness and sorrow? I want them to not be afraid, and I encourage them to go to the light, go run, go be free!!!) but afterwards? I did. However it wasnāt for Gizmo, it was because I felt so guilty for having kept him alive when he clearly wasnāt a happy boy. I beat myself up over it. But, vowed I would NEVER do that again. Big lesson learned. So now? As crazy as it may seem to some, I work a lot with my good friend Morgan, sheās an animal communicator. And that, has been such a gift every single time Iāve needed her. Now? If I get a new foster or rehab dog, and I know that there may be some PTSD/mental issues, I want to get in their heads, so that I know exactly what to do to help them in every possible way! š I used to always just āfixā the outside, but never thought about the āinsideā? Morgan has been able to help me many, many times to do right by each and every animal. For me, it has allowed me to not ever feel any guilt or second guessing myself when it came time to let them go. But, all in all, itās been a learning journey for me, however, as a result of that, I no longer view their deaths as a sorrowful time? Gosh no, they are SO lucky to be able to go cross over. To have no pain, no troubles and everything is perfect. I think I envy them sometimes? They are the lucky ones. š
As for the sores, can you get some colloidal silver? Do you have a health food store close by? Because that would be a big help for that. You can apply that to those areas on her? (Spray/mist) Numerous times a day, and it will begin to help that improve. CS brings on a very rapid recovery especially with wounds and sores. And then for the blood in the poop, I see that often with all the dogs I always have, and I donāt really worry about it anymore. What Iāll do when I see such, is up their BacPak, which the digestive enzymes/probiotics that Nzymes has, to double the amount, and then it seems to resolve itself. Iām always looking at the dog poop as it truly is an indication of health. I never thought Iād be spending my time being so interested in such! š
Oh, and good for you for bringing her outside and laying in the grass. Thatās the BEST thing you can do for her!!! She is then being grounded. Are you familiar with grounding? If you arenāt, take a look at this video. This specifically talks about animals and grounding.
https://youtu.be/jDxJvaCUrjI
Anyways, Iām sorry to go all Chatty Cathy on you Petra. š I feel in my heart that you absolutely got this. Whichever way you end up going, youāll have peace and know that you were the BEST people (I donāt say āownerā because I donāt believe any living thing should be owned) she could ever have had. You have done above and beyond for her, and she knows it too. š No regrets, no second guessing yourself.
Please will you stay in touch? Iād love to hear how you are doing and how the colloidal silver is working out for her sores. If you need ANYTHING, I am here. š Always.

Dear Brenda,
Thanks so much for your “chatty letter”. I realize that I was really wanting Bailey around for myself. Unfortunately, the diarrhea did not improve much. The problem was that she began refusing food over the last week. She was still able to drink water on her own until yesterday. This morning her breathing was fast. She didn’t raise her head and seemed far away so we put her brand new orthopedic bed in the car and took on her last trip to the vet. While waiting for the vet to come outside I had time to talk with her and stroke her. Every time I moved away she raised her head so I stayed close by her. When the vet finally came and did her thing everything was peaceful. She was gone in a moment. I a blame myself though for not paying better attention to her. I always tried to give my dogs supplements and stay away from too much kibble yet they still have the same problems as other dogs who eat nothing but junk. Anyway, the colloidal silver worked great. Her underside looked much better and I wanted to resume taking her outside using the wholebody harness. I am going to miss her terribly. The only good thing is that she is no longer suffering in any way. I have so many memories. Two years ago I had to put Gray to sleep. He had a seizure that would not stop. Afterwards I had some time to think and realized he most likely had a brain tumor.
I had looked up the symptoms and realized that most of them I had experienced with him. He was a large 105 lb gray and tan shepherd mix. He and Baily would walk together when we would go for walks. After he died I was discouraged and we did not walk any more regularly. Just recently Bailey and I would resume short walks down the field next to our house. We live in Christmas tree country and there is lots of spraying besides ticks. So It is possible since Gray was positive for Lyme that it caused a tumor. Bailey was never diagnosed with lyme but the stiffness I had noticed may have been lyme also.
There are many unanswered questions here. When I read about your association of lyme and MS it sure seemed plausible to me. As far as Bailey is concerned she may also have had an intestinal cancer. I’ll never know now. I guess I am being a bit chatty today too. Thanks again for your advice and help.

Hi Petra,
I am so sorry for your loss of Bailey. It sounds like it was very peaceful for her, and she didnāt hold back at all. Thatās when you know for sure for sure, it was the right thing for her. She was ready. š
But donāt beat yourself up over anything. Please. We all are guilty of holding on for ourselves and not them. We learn that way though, and thatās where I was able to unpack my guilt trip bags and take the lesson that was before me. You did SO much for her, and all the rest of your fur babies, and you should most certainly not have any regrets. š Be proud of having been the very best mom for them. And you were, every step.
I understand what you mean about wanting to do better for the fur babies and then still end up with the same problems. Sometimes, what we need to do is look outside the āboxā. If we keep on doing what we do, we keep on getting what we get. So…what is the other thing that all these dogs with these health conditions/issues have in common? Something that no matter what we feed/give them for their diet, wonāt be preventable? š¤ I think, and this is only my opinion, however based on experience and others testimonies, itās vaccines. š It is factual statistic that 69% of animals will develop some sort of illness, condition, or diseases after vaccinations. 69%. Could be allergies, ear infections, auto immune, respiratory, digestive, neurological(seizures), paralysis, the list goes on and on. (I have a really good article about this if youād like to see it) SO much comes as a result of āvaccine inducedā. But the vets wonāt fess up to that, you can turn around right after being there for a vaccine and the dogs face is swelling up with huge pustules and deforming the face and they will tell you that itās just coincidence, not from the vaccines. I call bull crap on that. I see it almost every single day, the effects of vaccines on a healthy animal. š But where do we go when our animals are sick? Back through the revolving door at the vets where we are prescribed more and more ābandaidsā on top of bandaids, never solving the problems, or fixing them, just covering them up. š
I have a friend who has a 22 year old poodle, never been vaccinated, has been on a raw diet her entire life, and still does rally and agility twice a week with her. People canāt believe sheās 22! And then another client of mine has a 19 year old Sheep dog, also never vaccinated and raw fed too. And whenever I have someone reach out to me and they have older 15+ years dogs like that, the first thing I always ask is do you vaccinate?ā And the answer is always No. So, I really think there is something to it? Plus I have yet to find any scientific evidence or proof that vaccines do any good for them. Not a thing. š¤
There is very much in their diet and nutrition too that we can do, which also prevents health issues. For example, the five big No Noās in pet food are: corn, rice, potato, wheat and tapioca. Those are starches, and starches turn to sugar and sugar becomes yeast. Yeast is the #1 underlying cause for most health conditions. Just yeast. Therefore if we donāt feed anything thatās going to cause yeast, the animal is going to be much better off, and live a longer healthier life! The more we can give them what their carnivore requirements are, the better off they will be.
I myself am a raw abiding citizen. Dogs, cats, they all get raw. Chicken, turkey, beef, and itās an 85% meat, bone and organ meat, and 15% fruits and vegetables. Itās a premade blend and all you do is thaw it and feed, well, and mix in the Nzymes products and other supplements that I all use, and colloidal silver.
So, my moral to this whole story is, you have me in your back pocket now Petra, and I will help you with everything to get a good food/diet and start off with the best of everything. And, then add a little bit of old fashioned Mother Nature into the immune system, avoid vaccines possibly, and maybe youāll be the next one with a 22 year old fur baby!? š
Thank YOU so much for your message Petra. I have truly enjoyed corresponding with you. ā¤ļø I am here for anything you may need going forward also. And again I am so sorry for your loss of Bailey, but you hold your head up high like the proud Momma you should be!!! I am proud of you, you definitely should be too. š

Dear Brenda,
Our mini dachshund, Ketchup, was paralyzed a year ago. No injuries, no visible symptoms. She was herself until she put her butt down and didn’t get it up again. Over this year we’ve tried everything natural. Adjustments, laser, acupuncture, water therapy, supplements, etc. She has regained some feeling in her legs, but has no idea where her butt and legs are when we stand her up. I just ordered NZymes. I wish I had come across this website sooner. I will put her on CoQ10 immediately. She’s been on cannabis oil but it upset her stomach so I stopped. If she is on a raw diet and we are already a gluten and dairy free house so anything she gets is organic and wholesome.
What else should I do? She’s only 6 and we love her to pieces.
Brenda

Hello Cornelia! š
Would you like to have a phone call chat? As Iād love to do that if youād like? That way we can go over everything with Ketchup and see what we can do? Sheās got age on her side being only 6, so I would have complete faith in that we can help her to put her āpieces back togetherā. š
I can call you, or you can call me? Iām on central time, and Iām available most afternoons and evenings, and Iām a night owl and up way too late every night. š
Let me know what works for you, and letās have a phone date? š If you can, send me an email at brenda@nzymes.com and itāll be easier to coordinate something that way than on here.
Thank you so much for reaching out Cornelia, and please give Ketchup a kiss for me. And tell her We GOT this!!! š

Hi Brenda,
I have an 11 yr old schnauzer …. Stevie. He does not have use in his back legs and now in his front. The paralysis in the back legs started 8 days ago. I was reading about nzymes and have received them and started him on them. Went to 2 veterinary drs … got xrays which shows degeneration of the spine. The second dr is doing laser treatments and prescribed steroids. I read that you said this works against the nzymes. I havenāt gotten Q10 , colloidal silver nor Camelina oil. I just put him on a urinary care diet per dr for bladder stones. I am so worried and wonder if itās ok to stop the steroids.

Hello Martha!
Thank you so much for reaching out! Iām so sorry to hear about Stevie, but youāve definitely come to the right place. š And I will be more than happy to help with anything you may need.
To begin with, please give Stevie a double dose of the Nzymes. Due to him being a āseniorā over the age of 7, his body will naturally require more resources, and the more ālifeā too can give him, the better he will be due to it. And because itās just āfoodā, you canāt overdose on it, so donāt be afraid to even give him a triple dose. I have a dog currently, who at the beginning of July kept losing his back end. Heās a moose. Well, they say heās Great Dane and Lab, I see moose. š But I have him getting 2 ounces of colloidal silver, 200mg of Q10, 30mls of ExcelOil and 7, yes seven teaspoons of Nzymes in his raw food each day. And then he usually also gets at least two Nzymes treats a day too. But I worked my way up to the 7 teaspoons before he finally stopped having his back end give out on him. So thatās what Iām keeping him at, because it keeps him at his very best. And he is 14. š
As for the steroids, I would never want to ātellā you what to do, because thatās something you have to truly feel right in your heart about making that decision. For me though? I always quit them. I donāt wean off, I just quit. Iāve never had anything bad or detrimental happen as a result of it? So I have that āconfidenceā to do it, but I know that for many others, that seems a bit extreme. I always take in the oldest worst shape dogs, the ones the vets have given up on, so I already really have nothing to lose since they have already written them off so to speak, saying there is nothing that can be done. And I completely disagree with such verdicts, and I love nothing better than to defy that āwestern medicineā way of thinking. So if it was me, yes, I would quit them, and especially because they start on Nzymes immediately when they come to me, but you have to make the decision that sits right with you. ā¤ļø
If there is anything I can further help you with for Stevie, please donāt hesitate to reach out. I will be more than happy to help the two of you. š My e-mail is brenda@nzymes.com or you can reach me at 1-877-866-6500 ext 3238, anytime!

I’ve learned a lot today by reading your articles. My precious 8.5 yr old GSD, Alice has recently been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and I am seeing signs of DM now too. I started her on nzymez several months ago and she responded with improved mobility and better mood. Recently she has gotten more stumbly and less energetic so I went to the vet and was given cartprofen and adequan. This was 2 days ago and the pain meds are making her feel better but I have always used only homeopathic and natural methods to heal my family.I hated going this route but didn’t want her in pain. Now I want to try your regimen (instead preferably) but question whether I should be doing both. Also, can I use the equine Camelino oil as it is about 1/2 the cost of the canine at Excell.

Hi again Brenda,
I also wanted to ask about raw food. I fed Alice homemade raw food for a couple of months but she quickly developed daily diarrhea. When I went to the very expensive ZIWI Mackerel and Lamb she instantly got better. I still think raw would be better for her but the diarrhea was hard on her. Will you share your recipe for raw food? Maybe I just included something that was bad for her digestion.
Thank you,Frances

Hello Frances!
Thank you for reaching out with your questions. Iāll be happy to help. š
To begin with, the food. Yes, absolutely raw is the way to go, in my opinion. Especially for an animal that isnāt well, or weakened. The reason being, is that a raw fed animal absorbs 90% of that nutrition. Therefore truly giving the body some great āfuelā also, no emptiness. However, what you described happening with diarrhea when she switched to the raw, is often very normal. It takes about 5-7 days for the bowels to rid out the āolderā kibble poops before the raw fed poops come along. And then? It is literally only 10% of what it used to be, keeping in mind the body absorbed the other 90%. š It could also be caused if you mixed kibble with the raw? Many people still use kibble along with the raw during the transition time, and that can cause the guts to go into a tailspin. It has to be one or the other, or, given at least 8 hours apart. Kibble can still be undigested in 12 hours, whereas raw goes through a lot quicker. So itās easier on the gut if only one is done. I always switch straight to raw with any new dogs I bring in, I donāt transition at all. Out with the old and in with the new. š And then, there could also be that just something didnāt agree with her in the home made raw just as you suggested too. It could be as simple as that. And truly? Thatās kinda where my gut goes with it because it went on for so long? š¤ But, regardless, we can figure this out.
I wish that I could give you the recipe of my lines of raw food, but even I donāt know it. Itās all made in 1300lb batches, and I know what all the ingredients are, but the ratio to break it down to smaller portions, I wouldnāt even know where to begin? š But, if I lived in the US, the only raw I would feed my dogs is by Northwest Naturals. Thatās the raw I trust 100% there. And their raw is all blended already too with all the hard work done. All youād have to add to it is the Nzymes, and then the ExcelOil (and yes, you absolutely can use the EQ oil instead-Iād suggest to call Tabitha at Excel and get her to help you with figuring out how much to use for Alice) and then are you also going to do the colloidal silver and Q10? As I can help with those amounts if you can let me know her weight. And, š are you using a double dose of the Nzymes too? If not, double her up. And you can even triple and quadruple if it helps her. I have two dogs right now that are 11 and 14 and they both get 5 teaspoons of Nzymes a day, and 3 Nzymes treats. There is something about using the treats too in conjunction with the granules I have learned. For my two boys? Itās a night and day difference if I give them their treats as opposed to when I donāt. The one will limp, and the others back end gives out constantly and his feet knuckle. I have now changed to putting their treats right in with their raw meal. That way, I donāt forget.
As for the meds she is on, and any interference with the Nzymes or any other supplements suggested, no worries. However there are some meds that will act as āgoaliesā and prevent the other stuff to be able to work to itās full potential. Anything from the steroid family, huge blocker. Ideally, I think if we can tweak things for Alice and give her more of the tools she needs, and help with the swelling and inflammation thatās happening, the source of her pain and discomfort, then youāll be able to eliminate those meds. Her body will do it all naturally on its own. ā¤ļø
Please feel free to reach out anytime Frances, with any questions or if you arenāt sure about something, or just need an ear to run things by, Iām here. š My e-mail is Brenda@nzymes.com if youād like to communicate that way instead.
Please give Alice a kiss from me. She sounds like a beautiful girl, and she sure is lucky to have you as her mom. š

Hello,
Stan from Nzymes suggested I contact you, my 11 yr old choc lab the love of my life has cripling arthritus in his back end and is starting to trip on his fronts due to compensating on the back end. The nzymes I had him on for 3 months did not help, he is on a good dog food grain an I cook him all natural food/organic veggies for his wet food. Is there anything you can advise for him. Diana & my boy Rory

Hello Diana!
May I ask if Rory was on a double dose of the Nzymes? If so, and it didnāt seem to make a difference, then it would seem that something is acting as a āgoalieā? Or, it may just not have been enough for him, and at 11 years old, his body requires more fuel so to speak, and maybe a triple dose would have been the perfect āfitā? I myself have two 13&14 year olds, and they are both getting 3 tablespoons of granules each day. That, and 4 of the Nzymes treats. That mix, along with their raw diet, keeps them at their very best. But, if I miss a day or two of even just the treats, it is evident almost immediately. Especially my Dane/Lab cross, he will keep on having his back end give out on him. So, finding the right/best amount for Rory might be the answer too? š However, please take a look at this article. This is what I have found most successful with anything mobility/paralysis related. This may be a help, in case there are any goalies in Roryās way? And, there may be a few extra ātoolsā to add to his regimen that might be very helpful for him? ā¤ļø

Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything further for helping Rory. Iāll be more than happy to help. š I believe we can get him back on his feet better. š
Thank you so much for reaching out Diana. And please give that sweet boy a hug from me, chocolate labs are my favorite. Their eyes, and their sweet souls, my gosh, they just melt me. š
